«How sociolinguistics would look if it were conceptualized through Southern discourses is the running thread throughout not just this volume but, so far, the entire decolonial series of the Global Forum from which the volume is derived. This book is a must-read for scholars in both the North and South interested in the decolonizing of Northern sociolinguistics.»

«This collection of chapters and comments provides potent and polyphonic examples of how collaborative thinking may contribute to decolonizing our structures of knowledge production and dissemination. By focusing on global and common themes, this book opens up space for an ethical and political dialogue between the North and the South. It offers inspiring examples on how we can challenge the capitalist face of scholarship.»
